The SM&SF Club was established in 1898 as the Swedish Music & Sick Fraternity. At that time, Swedish singing societies were popular in the Midwest, with singing competitions being held throughout the year. The early Swedish immigrants were also a strong ethnic group that took care of each other, both physically and financially, during times of illness and death.
Today, the SM&SF Club is a non-profit social club with membership that exceeds 600 members. It still maintains an old tradition of caring for the community by its annual “Kick-In for Cancer” fundraisers that have raised over $30,000 a year to benefit the local hospital’s oncology departments and our local hospice care providers.
It’s May already! Thank you to all the volunteers that came out for the Park Clean-Up. Thanks for the use of all the equipment that made that day a huge success. The park looks great, and I hope everyone gets out to enjoy it this summer.
Thank you for all the baskets and help with Spring Fling.
The donations for Shoebox for Soldiers was also a great success. A little goes a long way for those fighting for our freedom!
Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend, and remember our servicemen and women.
